Cherry-Apple Dumplings and Clam-Cottage Cheese Mold

I have so many chapters of George Washington's Birthday recipes in my vintage cookbooks. So then I have lots of great cherry recipes to go with the old false legend of the cherry tree chopping, but of course also a few weird ones. Look at these lovely Cherry Apple Dumplings, from The Southern Living Holiday Cookbook, late 1960's. Here's the recipe, too:

Drain the clams and reserve 1/2 cup liquid. Mix the gelatin with reserved clam liquid in a saucepan. Place over low heat and stir for 3 minutes or until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat and add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, hot sauce and nutmeg. Chill until mixture is consistency of unbeaten egg whites. Add the clams, cottage cheese, green pepper and onion flakes and turn into a 2 1/2 cup mold or small loaf pan. Chill until firm. Umold to serve. 3 servings
